on system wszx6.

Conﬁgure New Systems into a Workgroup

To conﬁgure a new system into a workgroup, do the following tasks:

• Set up NFS mounts to allow the system’s users to share working

directories. See “Adding a User to Several Systems: A Case Study” on

page 389 or “Sharing Remote Work Directories” on page 388.

If you are using NIS, you can use the /etc/netgroup ﬁle to deﬁne

network-wide groups used for permission checking when doing

remote mounts, remote logins, and remote shells. See the manpage

netgroup (4).

• Add local users and groups. See “Controlling Access to a System” on

page 245.

• Add remote printers. See “Adding a Remote Printer to the LP

Spooler” on page 436.
